A vanishing point is a point in a perspective drawing to which parallel lines of objects appear to converge. The number and placement of the vanishing points determines which perspective technique is being used. The concept was first used by Renaissance artists such as Donatello and Masaccio.
linear perspective is a drawing with 1-3 vanishing points.
curvilinear perspective is a drawing with either 4 or 5 vanishing points, in 5 point perspective the vanishing points are mapped into a circle with 4 vanishing points at the cardinal headings N,W,S,E and one at the circle origin.
reverse perspective is a drawing with vanishing points that are placed outside the painting with the illusion that they are "in front of" the painting.
Vanishing points can also refer to the point in the distance where the two verges of a road appear to converge. This is often used to help assess the upcoming curves in the road; to judge the radius and therefore the entry speed and optimum line. If the vanishing point moves towards you or to your sides, the curve is tightening. If the vanishing point moves away from you or comes to center, the curve is straightening.

She works at "The Room of Silence". Spoke a lot of India and yoga and how it helped her to overcome anxiety and have inner peace.
The Berlin Raum der Stille was inspired by the meditation room in the UN building in New York. The Swedish General Secretary of the UN, Dag Hammarskjöld, who was killed in an accident in 1961, set it up for his colleagues and himself. The Berlin Room of Silence was opened in 1994 in the northern gate house of the Brandenburger Tor. It was prompted by calls from the East Berlin peace movement and taken up by people of different religions and cultural backgrounds. The Brandenburger Tor, which is the weighty symbolic emblem of the city, is a bottleneck for traffic and a magnet for tourists. It has won an unexpected counterpart in the Raum der Stille, where the noise of the city is filtered and muffled. From the visitors’ books, one learns that there is overwhelming approval of this room. Each person endows it with individual purpose and meaning, yet there seems to be an unspoken agreement that silence and peace are dependant on each other.
